bly, burned in attempting to rescue
the children, of whom there were
eight and only two OF the entire fam
lily escaped without injury. This

hand working man, and he will
need assistance from his neighbors tc
get along. One little girl ten years
old, had escaped entirely, but seeing
her little sister a girl about thret
years old, surrounded by great flames
and in great danger, the little hero
inc went back into the house ant
was eearly burned to death in reseu
ing her.
